How to Raise $50,000 in Six Weeks

Do you think you are capable of raising fifty thousand dollars in six weeks? It is possible, and you are capable. The key is having a solid strategy in place and human resources available. We are excited to have Kim Klein, national fundraising expert, with us for this fast-paced workshop.

Description

Kim will shed light on one of the most important strategies in fundraising today: bringing volunteers together for a short, specific, intensive campaign and then letting them go for the rest of the year.

In this session, Kim will provide a ten step process that will enable you to raise large amounts of money in a short period of time. She will include how to identify prospects, how to train your fundraising team, and what preparation is needed before starting such a campaign.   

Learning Objectives

• Participants will see specific ways to implement their knowledge that mobilizing volunteers is key to successful fundraising

• Participants will be given a replicable yet flexible template for raising significant amounts of money in a short time frame

• Participants will learn how to adapt this strategy, and by extension, other fundraising strategies to their setting and their issue

Level

Audience

This training will be helpful to nonprofits in rural communities; those working with immigrants and low-income populations; and those working on social justice issues. Organizations are encouraged to send two or more people, with at least one being a board member or volunteer.
